On 20.06.24 they were in Basel at the House Of Smoke. The participants of the event listened intently to Maya's very interesting presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"titel-1\">Provocative question<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I was preparing for the shoot at the House Of Smoke in Basel, I thought about what answers would interest me. I came up with four questions. Maya Selva and her sales manager Philippo Costi gave some very interesting answers. One of the questions is provocative: \u201eHow did you come up with the idea of maturing Flor de Selva No. 15 for 10 years? That's only possible with Cuban tobacco, isn't it?\u201c Her answer will more than amaze you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many thanks to the protagonists \ud83e\udd17 and also to Nina (Branding Director Maya Selva Cigars), who provided me with archive photos and video clips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope you enjoy my film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uber-maya-selva\">About Maya Selva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maya Selva grew up in Honduras as the daughter of a French mother and a Honduran father. She went to France to study at the age of 16. She became an engineer and completed her Master of Science in the USA. Then she returned to her roots, to Honduras. There she became interested in the cultivation of cigar tobacco and the production of cigars. She learnt everything from A to Z.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1995, she brought the first box of her FLOR DE SELVA brand to France. Her handmade cigars quickly won the hearts of European aficionados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"472\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vasilij_100_csf54279.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73395\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:contain;width:359px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vasilij_100_csf54279.jpg 472w, https:\/\/www.zigarren.zone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/vasilij_100_csf54279-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><strong>More smoke.
